Found these Finnish 1899 750mm gauge locos that come close to the BLI C-16 and Bachmann Mogul

Now we can tell those snarky rivet counting On3 guys the locos are prototypical. ;D

Sorry, it doesn't work that way. Some of us need reality in the fantasy. Otherwise there might as well be Lionel Lines or American Flyer on the locomotive.

A little digging and you can come up with prototypes that have "Lionel Lines" or "American Flyer" painted on them.
